Application
The NLR valve is a proportional pneumatically actuated valve designed for flow control in
installations of the pharmaceutical industries.
It is widely used to control the pressure of a water loop with a pressure transmitter (PID) when the loop is controlled by neither a flowmeter nor a frequency converter of the pump.
Operating principle
The position sensor instantly controls the operating position to keep the valve in the
position determined by the user (PD function) or by a process parameter (PID function).
The operation position can be programmed by:
- a standard input signal sent by en external element (e.g. a sensor).
- an internal controller integrated into the positioner. The signal is sent form a keyboard.
